this one, scratch-built by Geoff Kent
Is that one of the NER designs built for the GE area?

No it isn't. The D174 is a little tricky as each batch built was slightly different. Will clarify when I have a little more time.

I think this is the original 1909 configuration.

Exactly :D .

The difference compared to the all third is pretty obvious even at a quick glance.
